A preview - A Tuesday night in Surrey - How to avoid getting Eg-ham on your face

On what should be a cold, windy, maybe snowy night somewhere so far on the outskirts of Egham you've gone inside the M25 and you're basically in Staines, Farnborough face a potential banana skin against the draw specialists in the league.

Realistically, it'll be unseasonably warm and probably pissing it down with rain and the Boro will be victorious.

Or maybe just hopefully.

The Hammers have as many defeats as Boro this season and only two of them were at home but have drawn more times than Rolf Harris in his cell. The only occasions Boro have shared the spoils were a brace of home fixtures against Arsely and Uxbridge in succession back on the cusp of September and October. The away stalemates reads zero. This has draw written all over it.

This cannot happen. Royston Spud Scrappers have another Trophy replay and therefore will have a third fixture to make up in the league. We have the opportunity to go top. Regardless of whether you think we have the budget to challenge for the league, challenge for the league we are. There's no doom and gloom here. We expect to be where we are with the playing staff and average crowd we get and following our excellent away win at Aylesbury on Saturday, this is a very winnable game.

We handed them their backsides back to them at Cherrywood back in August, a perfectly packaged 4-0 drubbing was as convincing as it's come in the league this season and whilst a repeat scoreline isn't expected, a win is the only thing that matters.

As far as we know there's no injury worries, everyone came back from Buckinghamshire unscathed, but news is scant on that front and for all we know the revolving door is spinning again but let's assume that it's the same team that started against Aylesbury and anything else will be a nice/horrible (delete as appropriate) surprise.

Brief and to the point today. We weren't at Aylesbury but by 'eck the ballbag bulged with bullets from The Salmon and The Fire Engine, off the noggin and the instep.

Let's hope Boro make a positive statement tonight towards promotion back where these players belong.

As always...

COME ON YOU YELLOWS
